It’s Nate Week here at CrossFit Watertown! Photos of Nate all week long! (Or just two days in a row, because we had to shoot a photo of his oozing sore from the rope climbs.)
In other unrelated news, we’ll be having Matt from CF Great Barrington back down here ASAP to give another “burn-less” rope climbing clinic. Either that, or we’ll all remember to wear pants during our rope climbs. (Not that we were doing CrossFit pant-less all this time. Topless, maybe. But definitely with pants. Even we have our limits.)
Also, when you come to class, remember to write your top 3 CrossFit fears/suckage on the whiteboard!
Lastly, a complaint letter (to Continental Airlines) that takes the genre to a whole new level.

Ouch! That doesn’t look so good. Help us, Matt from CF Great Barrington!!
So what do we think about these things?

Jill and Caitlin also owe us a Fran!! I am happy that Dan showed up last night because that forced Lis to join him for the Fran workout. It’s so fun, how can anyone resist?

Fun is ALWAYS the word I use with Fran!
I think that was the word Barry was using too last night. Well, at least it started with an F.

Happy to come down anytime, especially as it is starting to snow up here in MA, not something this sun loving Kiwi is ever going to get used too.

So is “kiwi” some sort of slang for new zeland’er.
When is that cfcct filthy fifty thing Nate? and are there any other plans for holiday / get together wods?
December 4th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
Woo hoo! Two days in a row!!!!
I was planning on completing the tri-fecata by showing up tonight looking like this, but, alas, I can not make class tonight
Last night was fun though, good to see some Fran a rockin! All sorts of general painfullness and RX’s going down!
Oh yeah, the Filthy 50 at CFCCT? December 13th, 9am men, 10am ladies!
And Dan (or anyone), if you wanted to hit up a workout there this Saturday morning, let me know, we should be there.

Holiday WOD Party! I’m glad you asked, Dan!
Next weekend is the Central CT FF fest, so that leaves this weekend or the 19/20/21 timeframe. Donna and Matt suggested doing a Friday night thing on the 19th — maybe a special WOD with a shelter or foodbank buy-in, then party after. How does that sound to everyone?
Also, I just heard from Caitlin, who might make it to class THIS Friday night, so I’m open to impromptu dinner afterwards too. (‘Cause the Mexican rest. down the street doesn’t care if you’re in workout clothing as long as you’re paying in American dollars!) I don’t know if Caitlin is down for that or if it will just be me and the margaritas again. (Wait, did I say again? I didn’t mean that. I have lots of friends. Really, I do. Honest.)

Sorry I’ve disappeared again….Im up for Fran – was going to do it yesterday but I ran out of time between my practices & my fighting with the university.
Pool Update – They are saying its a 4 week minimum (from today) that the pool will be operational. So not only do we have a huge conference meet this weekend, we still will be piece mealing practices together through the end of the semester.

@Chris thanks for the clarification of “kiwi”, I was wondering the same thing myself!
The Reed clan would be up for a Holiday WOD on the 19th!
And as for Margaritas on Friday…Jackson’s not much of a drinking partner, usually just passes out after 6ounces. I’m thinking Lis you may be able to last a bit longer than that…maybe 3-4 beers/margaritas? Now Barry…I bet HE”S a DRINKING partner!
December 4th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
I just thought a “kiwi” was just a really hairy person
December 4th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
“Nate Week” it should be. If there were a “Major Aaward” (Shoot your Eye Out) for MIMCF at CFW(Most Improved Male CrossFitter) Nate would get my vote. Rock-on Nate. Sue gets MIFCF hands down!!!
But what do I know!!!!
Everyone has improved by mega leaps (or box jumps)

barry, that is not very nice. no rope climbing lesson for you! nate, how the rowing coming along? did you sneak a rower home with you and set your alarm to go off every hour for you 1000m per hour?
we are off at a kettle bell cert in NJ this weekend.
December 4th, 2008 at 5:59 pm
Thanks Rich, mighty nice of you say!! Though the only reason I am anywhere in this craziness we call CrossFit lies in trying to keep up with the rest of you!
@donna: Up to 10,800m. I snuck in 3,050m last night before and (foolishly methinks) after Fran. This is gonna be tight…. On the bright side, I am more than 1/10 of the way there?
December 4th, 2008 at 9:06 pm
@nate, nice job…fran will always be there, the holiday challange won’t! keep it up. i only got 1100m in today, but i have tomorrow morning off….so watch out. i have noticed my shoulders arent worth much now. but what the hell….
@barry: i just finished waxing kiwi matt from head to toe. he’s like a dolphin!
